Nah from an insurance POV the Mazda would be at fault due to the bike already being in the lane. The driver of the Mazda should be aware of his surroundings at all times when merging and not just in the prior head check.

Bike hasn't done anything wrong by going in the next lane and speeding up.

ahhh yes. undertakes a car (illegal) then blames car driver because when he looked it was clear.....

waits for shit storm...

Passing on the left on a multi-lane road is not undertaking and perfectly legal

and this is why the drivers in australia are some of the worst in the developed world.

also last bit of trolling for the day.....

The rider of a bicycle must not ride past, or

overtake, to the left of a vehicle that is turning left
and is giving a left change of direction signal.
technically the car was doing this as he got level with it. so in the eyes of the law he is undertaking and therefor in the wrong....

Whilst I fully agree, I must give in to my inner Ozzy and tell you to 'Gobackhomethen you pommy git' :P

i love ya man! and you know im more aussie than you, cos chevy, but this is ridiculous man... the bike isnt even in the left of his lane! i agree with birds on this one...

May as well keep feeding the troll...

Do you not understand "And"? The car is not turning left -and- giving a left change of direction signal, he's changing lanes.

And most developed countries have the same rule, except it's for passing on the right for the LHD countries.

Yes the bike could have positioned himself better, but doesn't make how he rode illegal

Also he started changing lanes prior to indicating, so still the driver is in the wrong.

True dat.

The first thing I got taught in the HART rider training course was to never sit in a drivers blind spot, and to never travel in the left lane. Car drivers have issues seeing a bus let alone a motorbike in their left mirror.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
